Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 10 slices pepperoni (chopped or mini)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Season Tortillas: Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil to help them crisp up. Sprinkle the tortillas evenly with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes to infuse them with flavor.
- Cut into Chips: Cut the tortillas into small, chip-sized triangles ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform baking. Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to promote even cooking.
- Bake the Chips: Bake the tortilla pieces for 5 to 6 minutes until they become lightly golden and crispy. Remove them from the oven carefully to avoid breaking.
- Add Pizza Toppings: Spread a small amount of pizza sauce over each chip to serve as the flavor base. Sprinkle the chips with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses, then top with chopped or mini pepperoni slices.
- Final Bake: Return the topped chips to the oven and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Let the pizza chips cool slightly to set the cheese. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, then serve warm as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas for a healthier, lighter option.
- Add extra toppings like diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms before the final baking for added flavor and texture.
- For air fryer method: cook at 375°F for 4 to 5 minutes per batch for crispy, quick results.
